Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 640: She changed

"Let's call off the engagement."

A long wave of silence followed the echoes of Nina's very quiet voice. She and Finn stared at each other, as if even Nina had to process what she had said.

Call off the engagement.

Who would have thought? In the end, she would say these words to the man she loved-the man she admired, the man who touched her heart like no other, and the very man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

Now, all she was waiting for was his answer.

What would it be?

"No?" "Fine?" "Why?" "Please don't."

Many things crossed her mind as she prepared her answer to all of them. After all, if these words came from him, then those would probably be the things she would say. She would ask him for an explanation or outright refuse. Their relationship wasn't as grand as others, but what Nina was certain of was that their relationship had been genuine at one point. At least, that was what she believed.

After a minute, Nina finally heard him speak. However, what he said was something she didn't expect to hear.

"Is that what you want?" Finn asked after a prolonged silence.
